WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon speaks during the Beyond Sport United event at Barclays Center on Aug. 9, 2016 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.

Speaking at a Beyond Sport United event in New York this week, WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon said her organization — best known for its wrestling showdowns — is committed to LGBT inclusivity, NBC News reported.

She reminisced about wrestling legend Pat Patterson, the first-ever WWE Intercontinental Champion, who just this week released a book, titled "Accepted." Patterson came out on a show on the WWE Network and according to McMahon, the response "was so warm and supportive that he then decided to tell his story."
